closetcase patterns

For Christmas this year I really didn’t want any new clothes…just the tools to make more for myself! My awesome mother-in-law got me an amazing gift of a couple patterns from Closet Case Patterns, a gift card to buy fabric, and lots of fun little sewing tools.

I have been itching to make some ginger jeans, so I started with that pattern. I made it in a stretch white denim from Joann Fabric, and I absolutely LOVE them!

I didn’t take many pictures, because I got so caught up in sewing I couldn’t be stopped. My only problem was when I sewed the front and back together and they literally were twisting all the way from the back of my leg to the front. I was SO thankful that they tell you to baste and check the fit a million times, because I am so bad at doing that and it took reading it about five times before I finally mentally agreed that I would.

I ripped the seam out and with a couple adjustments they turned out absolutely perfect…no twisting whatsoever.
